Trump was released on a personal bond of $200,000.
Trump's son, Donald Jr., told reporters after the Republican presidential candidates' debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday about his father's arrest photo that, "This is going to be the most iconic photo in the history of American politics, if not maybe the entire history of the United States."

He’s done a far better job than you.
Actually, since Vivek has been the most outspoken in his defense, Vivek has gained much; DeSantis ‘weasled out.”
Truth is painful, huh. Back on your knees, then.
What a pervert.
Is this your 'Champion'?
On your knees to show your subservience. Which you are more than willing to give to your elite, billionaire, WEF member.
Hey, did you hear, Trump claims he won the recent golf tournament at his Bedminister club today. Wow, he’s so amazing, right? Wonder if Kim Yung Un might be better, though, since he claims to hit a hole in one every time he plays.
Pervert.
The judge refused bail for Harrison Ford. Apparently, he’s the worst criminal than everybody else because he’s black.
Pervert.
Yes, apparently he is. Unfortunately. But, he's made his choice. And you stand with him, not me.
Pervert.
Trump is a pervert? Well, these pictures are rather unusual, don’t you think?
Winred is just a common portal. It provides services to whoever is paying for their services.
Every single corporate media site has an article bemoaning the fact that Trump and his supporters were not humiliated by the Fulton County indictment and mugshot. They have been waited for this for so long and they expected a gnashing of teeth and a admittance of defeat-—at long last.
Instead, Trump is gaining support (especially among the black community) and the mugshot merchandise is selling like hotcakes. Just think—coffee mug(shots)! How dare they!
Also, if you point out that now Trump gets to present evidence of ballot fraud as a part of his defense, the left goes crazy!
They are not happy! They expected to be happy and they are not.
They threw Trump into the briar patch.
“They threw Trump into the briar patch.”
Yep!

“They are not happy! They expected to be happy and they are not.”
They will never be happy because their happiness is built on harming others.
